well, fellow Freepers, keep posting while the Idiot speaks,as I will not have the volume on... just can’t stomach him on this day.
OBummer just could not keep his speech on the events of today.
He told of his grandfather arriving months later....blah, blah, blah...I am so important...blah, blah...
About his uncle, (today it’s his great-uncle) freeing people from death camps in Germany.....an uncle who has said he never spoke to BO about the war..... He also said that Obummer’s grandparents had a way of enlarging stories they told.
Lots of folks were in this war. We have a close friend who has 4 Purple Hearts from that war. However, he was not there on d-Day.
Today was about D-Day!!!!
